Nasir al-Mulk 'Pink Mosque'

The rarity of architecture like this makes Nasir al-Mulk all the more precious.

Though Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and Istanbul's Blue Mosque both feature stained glass windows, on the whole they are fairly uncommon in mosque architecture.

The multitude of stained glass windows turn the inside of the mosque into a riotous wonderland of color that is absolutely breathtaking.

Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.

Rumi

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.

Rumi

It's also known as the "Pink Mosque" for the rose-colored tiles that cover the interior

Even if you are the world’s least religious person, you might feel your hands coming together in prayer naturally when you see the brilliance of this light. Perhaps the builders of this mosque wanted to show their “faith” through the morning light shining through this stained glass.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

Rumi

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

Rumi

A foreign tourist to Iran has made a harmony with Nasir ol Molk Mosque in Shiraz city

When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.

Rumi

Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.

Rumi

The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.

Saadi

Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!

Hafez

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Rumi

The best time to visit is between 7:30-8:30. Most probably you will be the only visitor during these hours.

You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?

From the outside, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran, seems like a fairly traditional house of worship -- but it's hiding a gorgeously colorful secret.
